[maxokw]

Hi.. help needed. my frd planned the below, it ok? I have only been to Taipei, this trip 7 person travelling together. 4 have nv been to taiwan - they'll just follow the trip. travelling 16 - 22 sept.

1. will replace华西街 with maybe ShiDa NM.
2. YMS in sept have things to see??
3. Should we stay a night in PingXi and Sky lantern i guess is better to put in ShiFeng right?
4. whats there in Yilan? can recomend places to go.
5. i feels the sequence can be rearranged again, want to put taipei all at the last few days, but travelling South will it be better to start from TMS or RF station - from RF i know will be nearer to travel South.

Looks okay. But then still prefer that u head out and then come back and do the rest in Taipei, rather than Taipei awhile, then out and the Taipei. Feels redundant.

personally i feel this would be a bit rushed. set off really early in the morning if you wanna complete all in the same day. Stores in pingxi/chiufen/shifen close early, around 5-6plus.

Day 3, will be taking cab, else wont be able to go all places.
Day 4, frd suggested to stay a night in Pingxi. but i am doubt i will want that, even staying in Jiufeng for a night i dont see anything we can do at night in there.. unless we go out to KeeLung NM and go back Jiufeng. problem is our baggage. we have 7 person travelling, will require 2 cab to drive us around.

Yes, you are right about that. I i will rearrange to make TPE at the last few days. Is is advisable to stay a night in Jiufeng then back at TMS or XMD?

Anything in Yilan worth visiting? I am thinking of if to go taichung> huelian or yilan> huelian..

Jiufen stay one night is okay la. Coz no crowd and enjoy the serenity of the whole place. Luggage can be left at minsu in Jiufen before you take a bus down to keelung NM. Finish then go back up, or why not stay at Keelung if u dun want to travel.

Recommend Hualien la. Yilan, basically is 平地，very big and ride bicycles around the farms or go hunt down for 三星葱！

I will say if u do 九份，金瓜石，黄金瀑布（diff from 十分瀑布）, shihfen, then pingxi, back to muzha,Taipei, this will be more 顺路。 U decide ba.

- Staying in Keelung might be another options, but do not really want to travel about with baggage. Jiufen is dead quiet at night isnt it? Nothing to do, just enjoy the quiet night.. sounds abit boring.. haha. thinking if should head back to TPE instead, since travelling from TPE to Huelian and Ruifang to Huelian isnt too much of time different.

- i also thinking of going Huelian only, wont be too rush. haha

- with this, not able to fit in Yeliu liao. will be rush. whats there in Muzha? Confirm with skip Shifen waterfall, not worth the walk i felt. haha.

Stay in keelung is a better option. you can enjoy the night market there, then make your way back to taipei city the following day.
